Interpreting Metal Hits With Hilarious Clips Blows Up On YouTube

February 15, 2007

Chris Harris of MTV.com reports: Dave Marcovecchio doesn't care much for AVENGED SEVENFOLD, and he's not all that jazzed about AS I LAY DYING, SLIPKNOT, FROM FIRST TO LAST or BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, for that matter.

But the band Marcovecchio loves to hate more than any other is Florida metalcore outfit TRIVIUM. And it's his TRIVIUM odium that's helped the 18-year-old Brit become a YouTube phenomenon.

When Marcovecchio isn't in class studying music technology or working with his own band, WARGAZM, the metalhead can usually be found at the nearest watering hole, rewriting the lyrics to songs by some of the bands he just can't stomach. When he's done, he turns to Windows Movie Maker and Photoshop to work on hilarious interpretive video creations that pair his made-up lyrics with images depicting them (like boats, coats and kids on bicycles).

"Me and my friend Ryan, we'd go down to the pub, get a bit wasted, and then come back and look up funny stuff on YouTube. There are lots of interpretations on there and we always found them funny," Marcovecchio explained. "But there were lots of ones that sucked, and they're all about emo songs. So we thought, 'We'll do one — a metal one — and show them how it's done.' "
